This award builds upon ARAMARK''s Green Leadership Award received in 2009 in the Foodservice and Hospitality Sector, the release stated.

Tina Horsley, director of wellness and sustainability for ARAMARK Canada Ltd., said: "We are very proud of this accomplishment. We are committed to protecting and improving the environment — both locally and globally, and we will continue to work to reduce our environmental footprint while offering expertise and practical solutions to thousands of client locations to help them reduce their environmental impacts."

The Canada''s Greenest Employers designation recognizes the employers that lead the nation in creating a culture of environmental awareness in their organizations, the release noted.

To encourage both customers and employees to actively engage in environmental stewardship, ARAMARK designed the "I Dream in Green" campaign to communicate green initiatives and encourage activities that support sustainable lifestyles and decision-making, the release added.
